Pan Seared & Oven Roasted Garlic Butter Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients

16 ounces rib eye steaks
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons fresh garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
salt & pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
Mix parsley and garlic. Sprinkle lightly with salt and mash slightly to mix, then mix with butter.
Melt the butter mixture over low heat in a small pan.
Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper and place a heavy pan or iron skillet over high heat. Lightly coat pan with oil when hot. Sear the steak until browned on one side (5 minutes). Turn the steak and brush the top generously with the flavored butter.
Place into the heated oven and cook to your preference (check after 5 minutes by cutting into the center of one of the steaks). The meat will continue to cook from residual heat, so remove it from the oven when slightly less done than you wish.
Pour remaining butter and any pan juices over the meat and let it stand for a few minutes before serving.
